Anybody else feeling inspired?

To play TS4 in a completely different way than you've ever played sims before?

Like I'm finding myself wanting to play with features I never touched before, like the cow plant. Also like I said in a previous thread I NEVER make & play a selfsim but I def plan on doing it this time if only because I can turn death off with a cheat lol

So how about you guys, what are you going to do that's different from your usual play style?

I've never had the CowPlant in any of my games before, so that'll be something new. I've also never played Legacies... so... maaayyybe in this game I'll try it out.

I've tried playing a SelfSim before... but then I give up because I can never be happy with my(Sim)self, lol.

Oh, I thought you were going to say something else, lol. So, I'm still going to go with that.

I do feel inspired!! The builds that we've been shown? I'm literally (ok maybe figuratively but literally sounds so much cooler) bouncing up and down in anticipation over getting my hands on it. I can't wait to see what's new and different.

I've saved over 1,000 floor plans from houseplans.com and I'm going to make them all! That should keep me busy for awhile, lol.

I always make a family... getting tired of the family life. I now have this idea to make this beautiful woman that is a heartbreaker/gold-digger. I've never done it before. Kinda evil, social based gameplay.

I hope to see/download them from the gallery, then, hahaha!
Who's a horrible builder?? *raises hand*

Oh, I would also like to make my Simself since I've never done that before. I may also make and play as celebrities now that it's possible with the new CAS.

Good luck with that, lol. When I do play a Sim, I always...always....boringly always....play the same type. I have tried to play evil ones, I have tried to play mean ones, I have tried to play "players", and I always fall back on my "type".

I played this evil vampire in Bridgeport once, she was so awesome! She was best friends with Elvira and enemies with Morgana. It actually hurt my feelings whenever she got her feelings hurt, I felt bad for her when people booed her, or when Morgana was mean to her. She was once somewhere and this old lady Sim came up and started slapping her! I had her beat up the old biddy and then I got the popup about how the old biddy was upset or something because my Sim was behaving inappropriately. I killed the old biddy on the spot *yay NRAAS mods*

Hah, build mode in the sims 2, 5000 furniture recolours. The "good" old days!​

I used to say that too, but it's not that hard. Really. Start by going to the library and getting a small home floor plan book. I recommend the Lowe's ones. Find homes that are one story with no more than 2 bedrooms. Then keep deleting till you get it right. You can also study homes that others have built, I used my iPad to take screen shots of them so I could figure out how they did the roofs and do it too.

Also....so you only build boxes? Ok, so add a bunch of windows and steel and VIOLA! You now have a modern / contemporary home.

I learned how to build houses by building all the time. Over time, they got better and better. It's so much fun. I also like using online floor plans.

I'm so bad, I don't even try. What I normally do is scope out a beautiful house, evict that family, move my household in there, and re- decorate to my liking. Sucks for that evicted family, but mine scored!

Since the lack of both terrain tool and CASt i think minimalism is my aim for now

I am definitely inspired to do something new. I've never done photography or machinima so I was thinking I might dip my toe in them. I have a tendency with TS3 to always keep my camera a bit wide and high at a 45 degree angle so I can see a lot of what's going on around my Sim and keep up with his needs. I also use 3x way more than I should but some things are pretty boring to watch in TS3. I am really looking forward to up close camera angles because the world is so pretty and I love how the animations look for the emotions.

I haven't figured that out yet. I always make the same family in every sims game. From there I usually take a different route in each Base game. So I guess we shall see.

Up until last week, I was so excited, I got inspired to start a youtube channel for the game. There are so many Youtube Simmers, so I got discouraged.

Start it. Don't even care about the other ones. Create it for your own fun. Yup

I'm certainly inspired. . I want to try the Legacy Challenge for the first time ever. I'm looking up old house plans and drawing up new ones. I plan on building like never before! I also get the impression that live mode play will be a lot more fun than in Sims 3, so I'm looking forward to that, too.

Aww, please don't be discouraged. I started a Sims 3 one back in March and believe it or not I got some subscribers. To be honest most people watch let's play's because they like the player's personality and their commentary. Just be yourself and have fun and you should be fine.

Thanks, it means a lot to me

I'm still thinking about it.
